McCain Will Share "Tonight Show" Stage with Torres

By Michael D. Shear
How does Sen. John McCain hope to steal some thunder from his rival during the Democratic National Convention?

How does "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" sound?

NBC announced today that McCain would be a guest on Jay Leno's show on Monday night, the first night of Barack Obama's big show. The 71-year-old presidential hopeful will share the stage with Dara Torres, the 41-year-old swimmer who won the silver medal in Beijing.

The pairing offers endless possibilities. Maybe McCain will offer Torres the Veep spot? (She is, after all, a silver medalist.) A University of Florida Gator, Torres might even lock down Florida for McCain.

McCain has the nerve to talk about Obama being a celeberity, but yet I don't see him turning down any appearances on the Tonight show. McCain judges others for the very same thing that he is doing; this makes McCain a hypocrite. I believe that he is jealous of Obama because he has the smarts, unlike McCain who has said that he doesn't know anything about Economics. In my own opinion, the only thing that he does seem to know is "War" and how many lives he can wipe off the face of the earth.

McCain wants to pin the "Celebrity" label on Obama? Well one thing says "Celebrity" and that is SHOWBIZ, folks! So let's take a look at John McCain's Internet Movie Database webpage, mmmkay?

The Internet Move Database, which keeps track of the credits of pretty much everyone in the entertainment industry, is a wonderful, well respected resource. In fact it is pretty much THE resource for entertainment - the Wikipedia of the television and movie industry if you will.

Maybe Jay Leno will ask McCain why his campaign manager and lobbyist for the Georgian government told the Georgians that they should get tough on the Ossetians? Why would it be in McCain's interest to have Russia invade Georgia?

While Michael Shear is peddling the puffball posts, I'd like some help figuring out whether BHO just said the following:

[[[[[[["We are a nation of immigrants." "The only people can say that they aren't immigrants are the people sitting right here," and points to the tribal leaders. "There are some families who have been here for 4 or 500 years. They didn't cross the border, the border crossed them."]]]]]]]

I got that from a liveblog of his comments today, but it isn't clear whether it was him or someone else who said that:

McCain's handlers will try any gimmick to expose their candidate. On stage with a Olympic medalist will certainly show McCain's advanced age. He will smile, make his 'my friends" comment a time or three and further have his ego stroked while bashing Obama. I suspect many of the usual late show viewers will be reflecting on Michelle Obama's comments and those of the other speakers that night in place of Leno.

It's nice to see that "Washington's Biggest Celebrity" (McCain) is still sucking up to the media, I wouldn't want him to have to flip-flop again.

McCain has eight houses, rides around in his wife's private jet and lives off of his wife's $250 million fortune. Don't lie to us about who is a member of the elite, sunnytoppil. And your George Bush, son of a president, grandson of a Ct. Senator and Wall Street investment banker, I suppose he was just a regular guy, too?

Those Republicans'!! Mean as a snake. McCain is no exception. He is 72 and truly been around Wash. along time. We have to wash ourselves clean of those mean old Republicans. I would love to see Obama pick Hillary for I know that Hillary can go toe to toe with any of them.
